Re:

Yes the serial number an odd place and checked classic lightweights frame number and nothing on there. I remember looking for a mystery frame I have and seeing a Selbach with similar lugs as yours. Not sure if there is one here. Just googled and found a tandem with serial number 59/ at the beginning but thread stops and a Selbach. Also you have gear hangers on your fear chain stays so it would of had gears, Cyclo maybe, Sully.

So one vote for Selbach

Any other thoughts??

Agreed, I was looking at cyclo but I suppose the likes of Granby / Selbach could have just offered that to order anyway.

What do you think of this?

Re:

Hi, looks late 30's, brampton fittings, but as far as the maker is concerned, your only hope is that serial number, that is a very unusual spot, it is a very generic build from that era I'm afraid. Its not a Selbach I'm afraid, the top builders were moving on from this type of build in the late thirties. Terry

Re:

Nice one Terry! I wasn't 100% sure. Not sure Sunbeam either. Did they use Reynolds tubing or Brampton lugs?

Thanks Tel

Yep, that's a match on the lugs. I'm sure I looked at that image yesterday but I might be going VCC Library blind.

I don't really mind what maker it is....just want to know. 531 or equivalent though so not too bad.

Sunbeam???

Did they use Reynolds tubing or Brampton lugs?
Yes to Reynolds and looks like Brampton

It bears a strong resemblance to the link I keep failing at posting!
